Quindecennial
A quindecennial is a period of fifteen years.
History/Origin
The term originates from Latin, where 'quindecim' means fifteen, and has been used historically to denote a fifteen-year interval, often in contexts like anniversaries or historical cycles.
Current Use
The term 'quindecennial' is rarely used in modern times; more common references to fifteen-year periods are made using 'quindecennial' mainly in historical or formal contexts, such as quinquennial (five-year) or sesquicentennial (150 years).
Year (Leap)
A leap year is a year that has 366 days, including an extra day (February 29) added to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical year.
History/Origin
The concept of adding an extra day to the calendar was introduced by the Julian calendar in 45 BC and refined by the Gregorian calendar in 1582 to correct inaccuracies in the Julian system, establishing the current rules for leap years.
Current Use
Leap years are used in the Gregorian calendar to maintain alignment with Earth's orbit around the Sun, occurring every four years with exceptions for century years not divisible by 400, ensuring calendar accuracy over long periods.
